The Farm Stands Have Fresh Corn

What better way to cook corn on the cob than to turn it into Gourmet Grilled Corn?

It’s time for some “Sweet Corn”. Oh Yeah!! Nothing says summer like sweet, freshly picked corn on the cob! But why stop there??

Gourmet-Grilled-Corn-with herbs and cheese

Turn that corn into something even more tasty – Gourmet Grilled Corn! Grilling corn really brings out it’s sweetness. Adding salty/savory toppings adds contrast to that sweetness.

Herbs Add Lots of Flavor

Don’t forget those fresh herbs growing in your garden. That bit of freshness takes it over the edge.

I love using different herbs, spices and cheeses to top corn on the cob. But, I never leave the butter to the side!

I melt the butter and brush the cobs with it!

Wrap The Corn Cobs to Keep Them Tender

The buttered cobs get wrapped in heavy duty aluminum foil. Be sure to keep the folds on the sides as it will be flipped a few times during cooking.

Be sure to wrap and seal well. This prevents the butter from running out and traps the juices from the corn which will turn to steam and keep the corn from drying out.

Grill That Corn

The grill is preheated to medium and the packet is placed on the grates. The packet is flipped during cooking to ensure even cooking and charring of the kernels. When the corn is tender and the kernels are beginning to char it’s time to add the toppings.

Try Different Gourmet Toppings For Your Grilled Corn

Use fresh herbs such as oregano, cilantro, and chives.

Cheese toppings can be whatever you prefer. Just remember that if you are using a very salty cheese, hold back on the salt at the end.
